The NFL better look out as E.J.'s little brother is on his way, ready to make his mark. Erin was able to give us a snapshot of what he's all about and let us go behind the scenes on this future NFL star.
What advice has your brother, E.J. Henderson, told you about what to expect when you move to the NFL?
The biggest thing that EJ told me was to be prepared for a whole different tempo and speed of the game. He said that the speed of the college game does not even begin to compare to the NFL.
What was your best memory from your days in college?
My best memory would have to be my interception return for a touchdown against Virginia my sophomore year. It was crazy because my brother had caught one the week before for the same amount of yards and everything. He was actually at that game and I remember coming over to him on the sidelines and getting a little chest bump before I had to go back on the field.
I should have celebrated a little bit better though. I always told myself I wouldn’t do a great celebration if I scored but I was just tired and looking to get back on the sideline.
What player on the Terrapins do you feel is poised for a breakout season next year on your team?
I think they are a couple of guys the country should keep their eye on. on defense we have Kevin Barnes, Chase Bullock, and Dave Phillistin. The big names on offense should be Darrius Heyward-Bey and Scott Burley.
Who is the best player you’ve faced while in college?
The best player I faced was probably Matt Ryan. Although we beat them (had to put that in there) he made some plays and passes that most quarterbacks would not even think about attempting.
The thing that I was really most impressed with was his poise though. No matter what we did nothing ever seemed to bother him.
My opponents would say the best part of my game is...
My ability to make blockers miss when they think they have me dead to rights. I think they would also mention my instincts and ability to find the ball carrier.
Finish the following sentence. My college stats fail to show...
My college stats fail to show that I played through several injuries my last year at UMD. I played with some injuries that most guys in my position would have sat out for. However, the most impressive thing in my eyes is that I was still able to play the game at a high level and continue to help my team.
The type of NFL defense I’d fit best in would be...
